This family of capacitors is designed for high-current applications, such as (1) SCR commutation, (2) snubbers for SCRs, GTOs and other power semiconductors, and (3) for any other circuits where the combination of frequency and voltage results in high RMS currents. The A97F8600 Series have an all-film dielectric and, due to the much lower dissipation factor, can handle much higher currents than the older film paper designs. Advances in capacitor Dielectric technology have made paint unnecessary, in most cases.
